Volunteer Opportunities for Kids Around Los Angeles
It can be tough to find local volunteer opportunities for kids, so we've compiled a list of places around Los Angeles and Orange County that allow families with younger children to participate.
Volunteering at home is a wonderful solution for families who want to make a difference, though there is nothing quite like helping out in your own community.
Has your family tried any kids volunteer opportunities around LA and OC, or the Inland Empire? Share your experience below by adding a review or suggesting another favorite organization for the list!

Westside Thanksgiving
Since 1982, this Westside community celebration has been spreading generosity and love by providing a free Thanksgiving meal to anyone needing hospitality, along with essentials like haircuts, clothing, and medical care. The event is possible because of volunteers' time and donations. Help is needed for event setup on Wednesday and for 2-hour shifts on Thanksgiving day. A responsible adult must accompany children under 18 at all times.
